DIANA CRAMER, 9/16/2021

Projected Source Selection Criteria RFP Section L

Anticipated evaluation criteria to be based on three factors:

TECHNICAL (FACTOR 1) Consists of five subfactors; all equally weighted

Program Management

Key Position Management

Knowledge Management and Retention

Mission System Maintenance

Civil Engineering Maintenance

SUBCONTRACTING COMMITMENT (FACTOR 2)

Evaluated on an Acceptable or Unacceptable basis

PRICE (FACTOR 3)

Evaluated for reasonableness and balance Non-priced factors are significantly more important than price

RFP Section M

TECHNICAL FACTOR 1 will be rated at the Subfactor level;

an overall rating for Factor 1 will not be given

Each Technical Subfactor will be given a combined Technical/Risk rating IAW DoD Source Selection Procedures as follows:

IS1

DC52

Slide 43

IS1 How do you plan on trading over price if you don't assign an overall rating?

ILLINGWORTH, KATHERINE A GS-13 USSF SPOC 21 SW/JA, 9/15/2021

DC52 We would provide narrative IAW SS Procedures to support a trade over price. Rating at the subfactor level provides a more granular view of strengths.

The MQR is a requirement – not a goal

Small Business, Section L

SMALL BUSINESS COMMITMENT (FACTOR 2)

Section L, Proposal Instructions. Volume 2

Submit a “Small Business Participation Commitment Document”

Minimum Quantitative Requirement (MQR) of 15% - 30% of Total Contract Value (TCV)

Calculation Base period calculation = XX% of the cost of the Base period Option year 1 = XX% of the cost of the base period + XX% of the cost of option year 1, etc.

Subsequent modifications driven by IJOs will not affect the MQR calculation. Other adjustments may impact the MQR

Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation Unacceptable Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation

Ratings for Factors (2-Rating Description)

Projected Source Selection Criteria Small Business, Section M

SMALL BUSINESS COMMITMENT (FACTOR 2), cont.

Section M, Evaluation Factors, Factor 2 Factor will be rated acceptable or unacceptable Small Business Commitment Document must include

Does NOT include Phase In, Termination, or Cost CLINs

What about Past Performance?

Past performance will not be included as separate evaluation criteria

Past Performance will be included as part of the responsibility determination

Organizational Conflicts of Interest

An Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) means that because of other activities or relationships with other persons, a person is unable or potentially unable to render impartial assistance or advice to the Government, or the person’s objectivity in performing the contract work is or might be otherwise impaired, or a person has an unfair competitive advantage

No OCI are currently known or anticipated – subject to change

Offerors must self-identify any potential organizational conflicts of interest and submit all information required by AFFARS clause 5352.209-9001 “Potential for Organizational Conflict of Interest (Oct 2019)”

If the offeror does not have any OCI related to PARCS, submit a letter stating so

OCI Mitigation Plan may be required The organizational conflict of interest provision included in this solicitation may be modified or deleted during negotiations

The Contracting Officer reserves the right to discuss a potential or actual OCI with any offeror at any time.

Such discussions do not constitute “discussions” as that term is defined in FAR Part 15.
